Last week, the Town of Purcellville finally got word its request for a piece of steel from the World Trade Center destroyed in the 9/11 terrorist attack had been approved.
Yesterday, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which was responsible for storing all the debris collected from the collapse of the World Trade Center Twin Towers, shipped a portion of an I-beam from the structure to the town.
The first phase of the parking is scheduled for completion in July, so "our goal is to have it all done in that timeframe and formally dedicated Sunday, Sept. 11," Lazaro said.
The town plans a 7 p.m. dedication ceremony to honor the memory of those who lost their lives 9/11 as well as honoring all those in Purcellville's fire and rescue companies, the police department and members of the faith community.
"We have a ton of volunteer and career people here. We want to make it something special," Lazaro said, noting that numerous town first responders are slated to receive awards during the upcoming Valor Awards program.
